I hope you enjoy your time here at my homemaking and country living little
spot on the web.

My name is Crystal and I am mom to the Miller Family. My husband,
Tobin, and I live on 18 acres in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in
western Washington where we homeschool and raise our children (we have 8
children with 5 of them still living at home right now). We also have and
care for goats, chickens, cats and our dogs.

I would like to share
a little about myself with you... I am a born again believer in Jesus my
Savior, the Son of God, and I enjoy quiet times with Him and studying His
Word, cooking and meal planning for my family, grinding my own wheat and
making bread, learning about nutrition along with herbs and health topics, homeschooling, date night with my hubby, trips to the coast, planting
flowers and growing gardens, goats and chickens
